Fisk Jubilee Singers: Freedom Fund Celebration

"The original Jubliee Singers introduced ‘slave songs’ to the world in 1871 and were instrumental in preserving this unique American musical tradition known today as Negro spirituals. They broke racial barriers in the U.S. and abroad in the late 19th century and entertained Kings and Queens in Europe. At the same time, they raised money in support of their beloved school. The Fisk Jubilee Singers continue the tradition of singing the Negro spiritual around the world. This allows the ensemble to share this rich culture globally, while preserving this unique music. Come celebrate with Grammy Award Winning Fisk Jubilee Singers at this special NAACP Sponsored performance at Macky Auditorium."

Free and open to the public, this in-person event is made possible in part by contributions from the City of Boulder Human Relations Commission, the Boulder Arts Commission, and the Longmont Multicultural Center. Registration, masking, and vaccination required.
